Data and Report Descriptions

About the Data

Data has been collected in the current form since 2014.  Some data is available before 2014 as follows:

  • 2011-2013.   Total Teachers and Programs.   Program Completers by institution.  Collected by the current study in 2014.
  • Prior to 2011.   Data was extracted for prior reports.  Teachers by State.   PC's by State (no institution), Teachers entering SBAE.   In some cases teachers entering SBAE was computed from the reported yield. 

How Data is Collected?

Annually teacher educators at institutions with Agricultural Education teacher preparation programs were invited to provide supply data, while state supervisors/executive secretaries are invited to provide demand data. Both supply and demand instruments were developed in Qualtrics and distributed via email.     Multiple follow-up requests were made to each non-respondent and alternate contacts in some cases. 

In many cases not all sections of the survey were completed.   Incomplete sections are excluded on section specific queries (e.g., race, reasons for teachers leaving). 

Data may be extracted using the queries, charts, or maps described below.
